The curse of Ken Burns

I've been watching the new Ken Burns documentary on Country Music.  I have always had a soft spot for country music. At times during a shuffle a country song would pop up in the play list and the wife would go where did that come from?  I grew up watching KTLA channel 5 on the weekends.  They would broadcast country bands on top of a flatbed truck.  I also have memories of Buck Owens.

The curse is that his documentaries run two hours straight, with no breaks.  A fade to black soon gives way to a new direction.  The curse?  I have to time my liquid intake prior to watching the series.    No bathroom breaks.  I do have to learn how to plan ahead to record the series.

Gotta go, Patsy Cline is coming on.
